Dodge and Chrysler just issued a recall for a power steering issue for the following vehicles:

Year	Make	Model
2010	Chrysler	300
2010	Chrysler	Sebring
2010	Dodge	Avenger
2010	Dodge	Challenger
2010	Dodge	Journey
2011	Dodge	Ram

Chrysler is reporting that some vehicles may have an issue with the crimping on the power steering hose that may case it to come lose.  This would cause a lack of power steering and, because of power steering fluid spraying onto the hot engine, could cause a fire.

Dodge and Chrysler dealers will be replacing the hose at no cost to owners to help fix the issue.  With over 25,000 cars and trucks  covered in the recall, be sure to check with your dealer to see if you’re car or truck is hit by this problem.

Owners should contact:

Their local dealer, the Dodge/Chrysler Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-992-1997, or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-424-9153
